The young Angevins demonstrate against the reform of the pension system

Thousands of persons demonstrated once again in Angers against the government's projet to reform the pension system. If the circuit choosen by the demonstrators was quite identical to the former gatherings, this time, two new originalities emerged on october 2nd : the lenght of the cortege and the rejuvenation of the participants

The choice to demonstrate on saturday certainly attracted persons who, during working days, can't leave their jobs. When the last demonstrators turned right from Foch boulevard to King René boulevard, the first participants, a few minutes later, reached Plants garden junction. The cortege quite circled down down.

The other significant data is the presence of young and this is probably the most worrying of these two caracteristics because they would be the first victims of a statu quo. The main argument of the leaders is simple, but wrong : more the elder leave their jobs sooner, more the young have chance to enter active life quickly. Unfortunately the issue is financial. If the seniors leave their jobs, they will need pensions. More numerous they are, more the amount of the pensions is high.

But as the french society is becoming older, or the pensions decrease, or the contributions increase, or we share these two ways. That's the choice of the project : the delayed retirement age involve the employed as well as the retired. That's a maths issue, not a polical one.
